Ditto! I don't think I had dated anyone consecutively for a year (a couple on-and-off things for a year) before I met my husband. My usual relationships were 3-6 months max. I don't know why he was different, but from the beginning I knew that our relationship was worth working and fighting for; it would have been…

Considering the only meaningful relationships in my life are books, about as long as it takes to drain the battery on my Kindle.

Ditto, though I didn't admit it until like 6 months in.

This is my husband and i as well. We have been married 8 years.

The majority of Americans are okay with this. Black lives do not matter. Whether male or female, young or old. The majority (yes, that's mostly white people in the US) think the murder of this child is just collateral damage.

Sure.

So you show up on an article about behaving yourself in a strip club to talk about how it's the stripper's fault men harass women and I'm the rude one?

Your username is everything.

I'm sure you use your concave dick for good and not evil.

James Spader specifically as that fucking douchebag from Pretty In Pink.

I agree. And by weirdly enough I mean, not at all.

I like it. There's a lot of applicability to that sentence, since practically everyone you ever speak to hasn't ever been beheaded. I'm going to try to work that into conversation.

Well, whoever wrote their statement/handles their PR is doing an excellent job of making empty promises.

I was born in 1965. My mother told me she drank and smoked throughout her pregnancies with me and my brother born in 1967. I had always assumed it was 'social' drinking and smoking. I asked her not long ago, and it was "yes to social drinking, it wasn't something that we did daily back then" but HELL NO, my mother…

And car seats, right? We did all kinds of crawling around the seats and stuff as toddlers...regardless, I'm glad to have these things now, and I was totally ok with abstaining from alcohol.

My mom was born in 1955. The doctor told her to smoke in order to keep her weight down during the pregnancy and help her bounce back afterward. It was a different time.

When I read Dan Savage's book The Kid, he says the research he did suggests that teen moms rarely have kids with FAS, and that the risks increase with the mother's age and binge drinking. (His son's birth mom didn't know she was pregnant for the first few months.) The risks were probably lower when people had kids…

Yep. There are pictures of my mother sitting with a bottle of beer in one hand, cig in the other, 9 months pregnant. She had four kids and we're all relatively normal.

Pretty recent and pretty much localized to the U.S., I think. Europeans don't worry about a glass of wine with dinner, for anyone.

I'm the Herald of Andraste and this is my favorite theory on the Citadel.
